Installation

composer require larawelders/queue-event-logger

The package uses Laravel package discovery, so no manual provider registration is required.

The package registers a default queue log channel at runtime if your application does not already define one. By default, it uses a daily channel that writes to date-named files under storage/logs/queue.log.

If you want to customize the channel name or logger configuration, publish the package config:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=queue-event-logger-config

The published config lets you change both the channel name and the underlying channel definition:

'channel' => 'queue',

'channel_config' => [
    'driver' => 'daily',
    'path' => storage_path('logs/queue.log'),
    'level' => 'debug',
],

If your application already defines a channel with the configured name in config/logging.php, the application definition takes precedence:

'channels' => [
    'queue' => [
        'driver' => 'single',
        'path' => storage_path('logs/app-queue.log'),
        'level' => 'info',
    ],
],
